History of Caan's
It all started back in 1951 when Don and Donna Caan opened Don Caan’s Flowers on 8th Street here in Sheboygan. Don and Donna worked tirelessly, building up a very successful florist business with many loyal customers throughout Sheboygan County.
In 1984 the business relocated to its current location on South 12th Street and added a garden center. Don & Donna’s son Tom purchased the business in 1993 as a second-generation owner. The business continued to grow under Tom’s leadership and vision.
In 2013 the business was sold to Kris and Ruth Shepard, who relocated to the area from Illinois. Kris came with over 20 years experience in the garden center industry. He understood and appreciated the hard work and respect that the Caan family had earned in this community over the last 60 years and plans to keep the successful history of Caan’s going for many years to come.
